B-BUT MUH FUN
M-MANUAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MORE FUN!!!

Hey guys it's my first week learning manual and I think it's a jo-

>being so incompetent as a human being you can't control your body to manage 3 pedals
Stay in your slush box and keep crying

There is literally nothing wrong with manual in traffic. It's not hard or tiring at all, and even if it was, I'd rather have fun when the road is clear and mildly annoyed in traffic than be bored all the time.

It really isn't that much worse than an automatic. Traffic sucks in ever vehicle.

>shills on damage control

>autotragic owners in denial
For all I care you can keep driving automatic "cars"

Job? You got that straight

t. Used to own manual then i turned 24 and got real

>not changing your own gears
What are you, a cuck?

>driving automatic cars
>in the year 2030, operating manual transmission vehicles will be outlawed in order to satisfy current safety protocol measures affiliated with autonomous driving cars
>in the year 2060, operating vehicles with an automatic transmission is strictly prohibited

>following the law
What are you? Gay?
>honestly scared tho

What's next, you gonna start shilling mass transport because it's faster than being stuck in traffic?

>its trackday

>w-why is everyone passing me
>b-but manual!!!

There's literally nothing hard about sitting in traffic with a manual. Slip that shit in neutral and whip the brake on.

This guy get it. First time getting stuck in traffic in a manual was after a 12 hour shift painting houses in 101o weather and it was actually EASIER to sit in traffic with the manual.

>>following the law
>What are you? Gay?

Disobeying the law can land you in a cell with Bubba. Pretty sure that's even more gay.

Not if you fuck Bubba first

Kek

I'd rather not contract AIDS

>>just let me shift a few thousand times
Surely you went 3 times, right? 1st to 3rd to top gear? MAYBE down shift the corner?

>not driving to the commuter train station
>not zipping home avoiding all traffic after work

Plebian.

doesnt change the fact that its unnecessary

Sure feels nice to live somewhere I can commute on country roads, and not in a degenerate liberal concrete shithole

>liberal concrete shithole

Literally nothing wrong with being liberal. This site was mainly libertarian in the late Bush years, eventually the pendulum will swing back.

that manual shitboxes still rule the planet.

/pol/tards and retard teenagers in general just hate liberals because goobergate told them to. They think anybody who doesn't agree with ther politics is a SJW

>libertarian
it's a difference between redpilled libertarians and 420 weed bro liberals,like half of /pol/ is libertarian

>Literally nothing wrong with being liberal

There really isn't, when it comes to most of the world outside of North America.
Liberalism = personal freedoms and economic freedom.

Dual clutch Audi ftw. I drove a manual Honda for 11 years and rarely find myself missing it.

SJW's have hijacked liberalism in general. Time for a 3rd party.

>They think anybody who doesn't agree with ther politics is a SJW
And libs think anyone who disagrees with them is a racist, misogynist, homophobe

I won't let some retarded socialists with an identity crisis make me stop using a word that has existed for centuries to refer to myself.

>economic freedom
Government-controlled economy is free?

>tfw sitting in traffic driving a manual after going to the gym on leg day

suffering

>Time for a 3rd party
Agreed. Though I couldn't bring myself to vote for Gary Johnson. What a dope.

Define government-controlled.

Automatics are unnecessary, actually. There was literally zero need for them to even be considered, let alone created and put in every car.

>Still slower
K, you're obviously retarded.

It's not hard unless you've got a ridiculously heavy aftermarket clutch.

>commuting
>fun

can't wait for driverless cars

It may be unnecessary but it's still easy as fuck to do and shouldn't be a problem.

>all these Burgers whining about manual transmission

I guess you can't blame them tho, since they were never actually taught to drive...

>I guess you can't blame them tho, since they were never actually taught to drive...

What are you on about m8? I had to read a ~100pg book and do around 20 hours of driving around with my parents to satisfy "Driver's Education" requirements before I went and took my 20 question multiple choice test to get my unrestricted driver's license.

My mom, dad, sister, and myself all know how to operate manual transmission. Turns out we're all currently driving automatics. That kind of shits on your little theory.

That's because nobody here wants to use archaic technology. Manual may be more "fun" but that is a completely subjective perspective and offers no objective advantage over any auto with shifttronic these days.

My family is the same. I'm the only one that drives a manual.

sucks to be you user. Don't forget, you ARE the traffic! Meanwhile:
>more manual
>more fun to drive
>never stuck in traffic
etc

It's not about necessity. It's about convenience.

I bet you scoff at people on elevators as you proudly march up the stairs.

>Sharing the elevator with filthy mouth breathers

>It's not about necessity.
Then don't bring up necessity. I'm sorry your argument failed.

I've been driving for 10 years now, everything is b-roads and I'm yet to sit in traffic.
Stop living in shit areas.

Some people want to do jobs that are only available in the cities.
Also, if everyone stopped living in shit areas, the good areas would become shit.

>Then don't bring up necessity.
I didn't. This is my first response to you.

>I'm sorry your argument failed.
Not me.

>Stop living in shit areas
You mean high income areas with a good job market?

>being this autistic/antisocial

Then why are you responding to me, because the post I responded to was about manual transmissions being unnecessary.

>Some people want to do jobs that are only available in the cities.

Well you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to work in a central hub, you'll have to accept living with traffic jams.
Luckily I was fortunate enough to live close to a small-medium city, but which is an haven for new tech companies (for a rough idea, fixed population of around 30k, that triples from 9 to 6), so I have a decent enough job with commodities not far from me, but without the hustle and hustle of a large hub.

I'm not allowed to contribute my opinion to the conversation?

And I meant to quote

Not when it's invalid because the topic at hand was necessity.

>Luckily I was fortunate enough to live close to a small-medium city
So you admit you lucked out, but criticize others for preferring an automatic in more congested areas?

I'd rather just walk the stairs and get whatever little cardio activity I can accumulate throughout the day. If I'm really tired I'll take the elevator, but sometimes it's more inconvenient because people hold the door open for some sheboon slowly waddling her fat ass up to the door, and have to stop at every level before I get to the main floor.

if you worked out properly you wouldnt need to take stairs for exercise

No, I'm criticizing op projecting his own experience as the norm

What? All I did was explain why someone would want an auto transmission (convenience)

Why do you keep rambling on and on about how it's not necessary?

Why can't you do both?

Burgers are so fucking lazy I swear

But you said you were lucky, which seems to imply that your experience is not the norm.

Im not american as stated in should I start tripfagging maybe?

Kinda like how you don't need to drive a manual

Because the topic at hand was necessity. Why are so many people here incapable of reading what's being responded to before spouting diarrhea from their mouth and flat out refusing to accept when they made a fool of themselves?

exactly my point, manual shills need to stay BTFO

Did I say mine is?

I did read it. He said manuals are unnecessary. You said autos are unnecessary. Then I informed you that the choice to drive an automatic is about convenience rather than necessity. What am I missing here?

So if neither your experience or OP's is the norm, than what is?

The fact that the topic it hand was necessity. You want to discuss convenience? It's really pretty inconvenient when automatics decide something isn't right and that 2nd gear is the only gear. It's really inconvenient when you need to pass, but there's a 3 second delay before it down shifts, allowing you to accelerate. It's pretty inconvenient when your battery dies and you don't have anyone to jump you or a battery charger, rendering your vehicle unable to be started. It's pretty inconvenient when you have to pay $2000 for a rebuilt transmission instead of $50 for a new clutch.

None. As far as I can tell, no one is going "everyone needs to live in a large city/outside of it", unlike op saying each and everyone of us sits on traffic jams.

>unlike op saying each and everyone of us sits on traffic jams.

You probably sit on cocks, faggot.

...

>The fact that the topic it hand was necessity.
So because you two were arguing about necessity, that bars anyone from bringing anything else up? Check your autism.

Listing every worst-case-scenario for auto transmissions is kind of desperate, no?

Hi op, how are you enjoying being mad?

>being THIS buttblasted

>no one is going "everyone needs to live in a large city/outside of it"
In most cases, that's where the most lucrative jobs are found. A large portion of our population has this experience. You might even say it's the norm ;-)

>he takes the subway with the poor people

Like I said, plebian

>being a city cuck and mentally challenged american
I con only imagine how hard life can be

I bet you're self-employed, making six figures working from home.

>being a cuck to work for Mr. Noseberg

Autotragics everyone

And you'd be literally the only one in the history of your country not that anyone believes you anyway

>t. bus rider

It's hilarious seeing poorfags talk about how much better a manual is. My new car is 3x as fast as my old manual shitbox and I don't even have to bang through gears with my foot on the floor to get on the freeway. If I actually want to keep the revs up and shift fast I can just use my paddle shifters. It's ok, in 10 years you can finance my used goods and talk about how DCT's are sooooo much superior to whatever I'm using by then.

desu i work an hour from home and drive traffic everyday in my auto gti. im hopefully gonna be doubling my salary soon so im just gonna buy a week end car. why limit yourself to one good thing

>wanting to commute 1+ hours in stop and go then pay 20$ for parking near your office building

No thanks.

...

>office building
>paying for parking
sounds disgusting
>not 5-speed with overdrive
disgusting

I don't see the problem with traffic in a manual.
I just put it in 2th and use the clutch.

I would have a manual trans if i didnt have a bad hip. back in 7th grade i had to get a screw in my hip. I test drove a manual because i was thinking of buying one but after about 20 minutes my leg started to cramp up.

>Living in a shit hole country.
